Hi.

I followed

http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Recording_audio_playing_on_the_com puter#Using_the_ALSA_PCM_file

and got the

/tmp/out.raw file

How do I convert it to wav or mp3?

thanks

--Siju

You would need an MP3 encoder, such as LAME. LAME is not available in
Debian, but is available from unofficial repositories, such as Debian
Multimedia (see http://debian-multimedia.org/ for details)

Actually, you wouldn't need to use ffmpeg at all;
lame sample.wav sample.mp3 should usually do the trick. See here for
details:

Wave is nothing but raw PCM in littile endian (intel) format with generally 44 bytes of header which contains sample rate, number of channels, total number of samples etc.Since it is raw PCM data, while creating either wave or mp3, you will have to specify your sample rate, number of channel and format (number of bits, little/big endian etc.)

Thanks Kumar :-) But Anand the raw pcm file I got was more than 700 MB
but when I converted it to .wav it was only 71 MB why is that?
